Hello friend. Free various versions of Linux can be used to run smoothly Oracle Database. However, only Oracle Linux is certified. CentOS, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora, are good, but not certified. Red Hat, Suse Enterprise, are options if you are certified.

You unpack both files in separate directories and then move the file contents 2 within the same disk structure 1. This can also be the cause of your mistake.

Or just unzip them both into the same directory to start with. Which is what happens if you just use the unzip command at a command line instead of relying on Windows's lame GUI. Especially given that the OP is on a Linux, albeit an unsupported distro.

When I click on Oracle Linux Release 6 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) , the link takes me to this pages see screenshot http://i40.tinypic.com/2f0dhxl.png which again has 3 links. Out of these three which one to download ?

Only 11.2.0.3 is certified for Linux 6.x, and 11.2.0.3 is only available for customers with a Support contract. If you only have access to the publicly available 11.2.0.1 version, it is not certified on Linux 6.x
